See some smile-inducing sculptures without ever walking through the door of a museum on the Napa Art Walk. The first Napa Art Walk exhibition debuted in 2009; the biannual, rotating sculpture exhibition is created using the work of artists from the Western United States. The 2017-2019 Napa Art Walk is entitled "Shifting Perspective." It showcases nine sculptures from nine artists. Free maps are available at the Napa Valley Welcome Center, 600 Main Street, and Napa River Inn, located just across the street at 500 Main Street. Save the paper and download Otocast for free through the Apple Store or Google Play. Much of the Napa Art Walk audio tour has been recorded by the artists themselves. Though not part of the Napa Art Walk, The 9/11 Memorial Garden, by local artist Gordon Huether, is also worth a visit.
